This may be why they aren't doing so hot- the doublechecks and handlands have negative synergy.

And they are both 2 CC. Yes, they don't go in the same deck but Leap was the most expendable green card in my Cube which is why I made the cut. It was either Leap or Wall of Blossoms and I like Wall a tiny bit better. Finding cuts for non-staples is a big a problem with 360s.
Also, I didn't feel the need to lower my curve either since green 2 CC is ridiculously stacked.

I wonder how the Handlands would be if they were a suped up Buddy/Check Land. Something like "Fortified Village CIPT unless you control a forest and a Plains". I mean, it would work with Tangolands a lot better then the current form while still needing basics to work entirely.

That is probably part of it, but I still think its the correct decision in ally color decks to play the showlands. I guess what I'm trying to say is that in those decks they're better than basics.
I think a better argument could be made that they're worse than evolving wilds though in non aggro decks.

I like the secret battle in this thread as to what to call the lands.

. I consider Discountdoublechecks/Tangos/Santalands and Show/handlands interchangeable. Battlelands and Shadowlands are unacceptable however."God's Beard!"

I thought we all agreed on santalands at least.

prettyflyforajeskai asked: Do you think we could see more cards taken off the reserve list in the future?
MaRo: It’s definitely a possibility.

Pretty fucking clear, yeah? Before, MaRo "no commented" anything about the list and for a time, strictly refused to answer any sort of question. Looks like the new guy may be interesting in, idk, making money or something.

I can't even imagine the look on his face as some guy wearing a faded, "vintage" mana symbol tee-shirt was trying to explain it.

Oh damn, I'm liking the new CEO already.
Oh to be a fly on the wall there. I imagine the new guy coming in on the hype of building their digital infrastructure and discovering shit like the reserved list and constantly having that reaction.

Rules question, let's say you have olivia out, play a loam dryad discard a fiery temper to it, does the loam dryad have haste to pay for it at the time already?
The Technomancer
card-carrying scientician
Pretty sure it doesn't, the chance to pay for madness resolves before Olivia's ability finishes resolving
Giant Panda
Member
I would guess yes, bc the resolution that causes you to discard also gives the creature haste. So the dryad could be tapped by the time you were to cast a madness card.
The Technomancer
card-carrying scientician
Yeah I'm not sure, Olivia's ability isn't worded as a cost, which throws me off
Familienoberhauptvogel

That's where I sided, since the card was discarded but I'm not sure it resolved with that
and this is also reasonable so idk.

Member
I'm pretty sure Olivia's ability resolves with the Madness trigger still on the stack, so Loam Dryad would definitely be able to pay for it.

Most likely explanation is he misread it as "Restricted List." Second most likely is that after keeping up a family-friendly, brand-appropriate public face 24/7 he wanted to shitpost and then blame it on Tumblr to avoid any trouble.
Yes. Once a spell or ability starts resolving it finishes resolving completely before anything else can happen (Panglacial Wurm notwithstanding). The madness trigger will wait to go on the stack until the ability is finished resolving, at which point the loam dryad will have haste (and be a vampire).

Played Sultai Midrange(eldrazi) and lost to ramp in grand finals. Last time I played here a year ago I played Sultai Midrange(whip) and lost to ramp in grand finals. Must be fate.
More importantly, reciepts for Angry Grimace since I need to continue my legend of the infinite win-a-box champion:
My deck can't beat direct burn. Goggles plus Fall is GG.

Here's the interesting cards anyway:
Unfortunately I only got one Duskwatch Recruiter and that's what I really wanted.
The burn angle is the main thing. I can beat any number of ramp creatures, but I can't beat a forked Fall of the Titans. If he was playing a "normal" ramp deck as opposed to the Brad Nelson 75 I would have won very easily. He beat me with burn both games.
I even Warping Wailed a Tormenting Voice!

Don't tell anybody, but i made grand finals with a proxy in my deck.
I'm willing to trade cards for up to three Recruiters if you can guarantee they'll get to california by friday.

I can't decide if I want negates or an Orb of Warding in my sideboard. Orbs would be pretty good against goggles ramp.

I mean, Force Spike itself is considered too strong for Modern, right?
Anyway, interesting Mothership article about the history of Limited, told through interviews with older players.
MaRo goes over mistakes, and talks about Battle for Zendikar. It's interesting to note that Battle for Zendikar design started before they decided to focus more on story with Magic Origins. They went with a big war between the Zendikari and the Eldrazi because what else would the cliffhanger of Rise of the Eldrazi lead to? He also makes an interesting analogy about their decision to focus more on Rise of the Eldrazi in their return:
